Page 2 " of 8 " Thermoelectric Cooling Solutions External Cooling Concept TO56/TO9 Laser Diode (or similar object) Final product item (packaged assembly on a header) Heatsink Thermal Contact area TE Cooler (Cut view) Heatsink “External” TE Cooling TEC cools the entire assembly Heatsink Center Hole for LD wires feed through Heatsink “Internal” TE Cooling TEC on a header, cools the heat-generating object directly Description “External cooling” with center-hole thermoelectric coolers is the solution for objects without a possibility to integrate TEC inside (or where a built-in TEC is not sufficient enough because of large heatload). For example there is a wide range of uncooled LD types that use industrial standard TO-56 or TO-9 headers. The typical design and pins layout for such headers assume uncooled solution with no space to integrate a thermoelectric cooler directly on a header. In the same time thermal stabilisation can improve LD performance and lifetime and give additional features in final application. In such cases the “external” thermoelectric cooling can be an optimal choice. TEC has a center hole (or multiple holes) to feed LD pins through and provide a thermal contact between header and cold side surface. Center-hole TECs and “external” cooling are optimal for creating environmental testing setups for LD manufacturers, laboratory researches and temperature sensitive experiments. Application Tips 1. An appropriate heatsink is required to be attached to TE cooler hot side. TEC operates as a heatpump. The heat pumped from TEC cold side has to be spread from a hot side with a heatsink. 2. TEC built it on a header (internal cooling) is more optimal solution by power consumption comparing with “external” one (TEC under the header). The external cooling is good if there is no way to integrate a suitable TE cooler on a header. The external cooling can be an extension for standard un-cooled packaged devices. 3. With the external cooling the temperature on TEC cold side may differ from temperature of the object inside a packaged assembly. This is a result of header thermal resistance availability. 4. Recommended methods of mounting: thermal grease or gluing. In case of Copper or Aluminium heatsink materials it is strongly recommended to use a thermal grease or elastic silicon-based thermoconductive glues. Copper and Aluminium heatsink materials have high thermal expansion coefficient (CTE), different to TEC materials. 46 Warshavskoe shosse.

Never heat TE module more than 200˚C (TEC assembled at 230˚C). 2. Never use TE module without an attached heat sink at hot (bottom) side. 3. Connect TE module to DC power supply according to polarity. 4. Do not apply DC current higher than Imax. Installation 1. Mechanical Mounting. TEC is placed between two heat exchangers . This construction is fixed by screws or in another mechanical way. It is suitable for large modules (with dimensions 30x30mm and larger). Miniature types require other assembling methods in most cases. 1. Soldering. This method is suitable for a TE module with metallized outside surfaces. RMT provides this option and also makes pre-tinning for TE modules. 2. Glueing. It is an up-to-date method that is used by many customers due to availability of glues with good thermoconductive properties. A glue is usually based on some epoxy compound filled with some thermoconductive material such as graphite or diamond powders, silver, SiN and others. The application of a specific type depends on application features and the type of a TE module.

Page 5 " of 8 " Thermoelectric Cooling Solutions Important notes 1. TEC Performance in this datasheet is specified in typical ambient condition modes (Vacuum, +27ºC; Dry N2, +50ºC; Dry N2, +75ºC; and Dry N2, +85ºC). The performance may differ under other conditions. Please, use RMT TECCad software or iTECPad for iPad for detailed analysis, or contact RMT specialists for additional TEC performance info. 2. TEC ACR and Umax values are sensitive to ambient temperature. These values can be different from those specified in the datasheet at other ambient conditions. ACR and Umax raise with ambient temperature increasing. 3. TEC dTmax is specified at zero heatload, while Qmax is specified at zero dT (check Fig.1 for example). TEC dTmax and Qmax values raise with ambient temperature (check Fig. 2 for example). Please, use RMT TECCad software or iPad app for additional info, or contact RMT specialists directly. 4. Thermoelectric coolers have the best performance in the temperature range from near room up to +80..90ºC. TEC cooling performance is less at ambient temperatures below 0ºC. TECs are not suitable to operate at cryogenic temperatures. 5. Driving a TEC at Imax or Umax doesn’t mean max performance mode. The real optimal mode may depend on operating conditions, required dT level and application heatload. In fact a better performance can be reached at operating current and voltage lower than Imax and Umax values specified in datasheet. 6. It is strongly recommended to avoid a direct mounting of thermoelectric cooler to pure Copper, Aluminium or Nickel materials as well as a mounting of objects from these materials on TEC cold side. Any material with high CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) may affect on TEC lifetime and even damage TEC in case of improper mounting, thermal shock and/or temperature cycling. In case of above mentioned materials necessity, it is recommended to use elastic “soft” solders or glues with large modulus of elasticity (Indium-based solders or silicon-based thermoconductive glues). 7. RMT Ltd confirms that all RMT thermoelectric coolers are qualified and meet the requirements of Telcordia GR-468 Standard. The up-to-date Reliability Report is available by request. RMT Ltd warranties thermoelectric coolers lifetime no less than 250K-300K operating hours under normal application conditions.
